any object of distress. and the child willingly
goes to the rescue. Make the young to have
pity for tho beasts that suffer and are dumb;
teach them of tho uses that animals arc to
man; how blank and hard our lives would be
without their service; tell them how much
we owe our friends i'll furs and feathers, and
then we reach a higher work--the moral OBJ
legation OF man as q superior animal TO pro-
tcct tho weak and dcfensclesS; and so wo pro-

A Scrap of Unwritten History.
rCiucinnati Tobacco Journal. ]

Apri', 1865, found Sherman with
his army at Raleigh, \. G., while John
ston with the remnant of his troops
was cncamped at Greensboro. Cen
eral Johnston signiiied his desire to
have q conference with Sherman, SO an
armistice of ten days was declared, and
the two great Generals met at a little
house four miles West of Durham.
Durham was then a railroad station
with a population Of 200 souls, and
was declared neutral ground for the
two armies. Here the blue and gray
met in friendly intercourse and amused
themselves as best they could during
the ten days Of peace. About 100
yards from the depot stood small two
story frame building used by John K.
Green as tobacco factory. While the
war was going on Green had manufac-
tured smoking tocacco for the soldiers,
but now his occupation was gone. In
his factory were stored large quantities
Of manufactured tobacco, and the boys
in blue and gray, without ceremony,
helped themselves, and around their
camp fires literally smoked the pipe of
peace. When the terms Of surrender
had ben settled, each soldier supplied
himself with a "poke' of tobacco and
went home. In this way Green's to-
bacCo was scattered from Maine to
Texas, and what he regarded as a
severe calamity soon proved to be a
real blessing. After the 'pokes'' had
been consumed the soldiers wrote back
from all sections for "Durham Tobac-
CO." Green, quick to embrace his
opportunity, christcned his tobacco
"Durham," and chose the bull tor his
trademark. And this is the way the
Durham Bull Tobacco took its start

This is the message of a carrier pigeon

Mr.. IL. 2. Moore, our clever friend and

NetcS that "a few days ago Mr. Roberts, who
farms near the Savannah river, observed a
pretty carrier pigeon come down i'll his lot
as il for water, A negro boy also saw the
bird and, picking up stick, he killed the
bird before Mr. Roberts could prevent the
rash act The pigeon was very gentle and
could have been caught with ease, but for
the negro's sudden impulse.
On the leg of the pigeon was a silver ring,
on which was the simple and singular sym

A Farm or Fighting a Railroad

A unique light is now going on between
the Evansville and Indianapolis Railroad and
j. c. Palmer, wealthy farmer near Wash
ington, Ind. The road is built along the
line of the old Wabash and Erie canal, which
was abandoned by the trustees twenty-five
years ago. When the canal was abandone
the land reverted to the former owners.
Notwithstanding this and the fact that
twenty years possession gives a valid title
the canal trustees sol the property rights
and franchises TO Mackey, OF Evansville,
and he sold to the railroad company. When
the road came to be built, however, the
farmers refused to allow the line to cross
their farms, but the company used force
and completed the road. In lSS5 Palmer
got a temporary injunction. which was
made perpetual in 1886, aud under it he
is arresting the train hands from day to
day as they try to run trains across his
land, and seems TO be in fair way TO stop
the operation OF the road. He now has a
number of conductors, engineers and brake
men under bonus.
